locational differences in mercury and selenium levels in 19 species of saltwater fish from new jersey.	individuals who fish, and their families that ingest self-caught fish, make decisions about where to fish, what type of fish to eat, and the quantity of fish to eat. while federal and state agencies often issue consumption advisories for some fish with high mercury (hg) concentrations, advisories seldom provide the actual metal levels to the general public. there are few data for most saltwater fish, and even less information on variations in hg levels in fish within a state or geographical regi ...	2011	21598171
mercury and selenium levels in 19 species of saltwater fish from new jersey as a function of species, size, and season.	there are few data on risks to biota and humans from mercury levels in saltwater fish. this paper examines mercury and selenium levels in muscle of 19 species of fish caught by recreational fisherfolk off the new jersey shore, as a function of species of fish, size, and season, and risk of mercury to consumers. average mercury levels ranged from 0.01 ppm (wet weight) (menhaden brevoortia tyrannus) to 1.83 ppm (mako shark isurus oxyrinchus). there were four categories of mercury levels: very high ...	2011	21292311
risk to consumers from mercury in bluefish (pomatomus saltatrix) from new jersey: size, season and geographical effects.	relatively little attention has been devoted to the risks from mercury in saltwater fish, that were caught by recreational fisherfolk. although the us food and drug administration has issued advisories based on mercury for four saltwater species or groups of fish, there are few data on how mercury levels vary by size, season, or location. this paper examines total mercury levels in muscle of bluefish (pomatomus saltatrix) collected from coastal new jersey, mainly by recreational fishermen. of pr ...	2009	19643400
henneguya sp. (cnidospora:myxosporida) parasitic in the heart of the bluefish, pomatomus saltatrix.	a myxosporidan parasite, henneguya sp., was discovered in the bulbus and truncus arteriosus of bluefish, pomatomus saltatrix. infected fish were captured from the atlantic ocean near montauk point, long island, new york, raritan bay, new jersey, and chesapeake bay, maryland. comparative features of mature spores showed that they were similar to those of henneguya sebasta moser and love 1975, from the bulbus arteriosus of seven species of california rockfish, sebastes. studies on growth stages of ...	1977	915619
